Arsenal v Southampton: Squad sheets

Southampton lost this fixture 6-1 last season and they have not won at Arsenal in 26 years. But it will be a different Southampton that takes to the field, one flying after the club's finest start to a top-flight season and pepped by England call-ups and all-round acclaim. Unbeaten in eight, the best streak in the division, they have got results at Liverpool and Manchester United. Can they withstand an Arsenal team looking to bounce back from their defeat at Old Trafford? David Hytner
